I can't find working password fields anywhere else in the OS, but this looks like a toolkit bug.

In this particular screen, I've not typed any digit on the textbox yet. The 4 dots as placeholders are always present in all boxes, regardless of whether there has been any input on the text box at all. It's confusing because of the fact that it's not possible to tell whether you've typed e.g. 3 or 4 digits, or if you've input anything at all. For consistency with other password prompts (e.g. online accounts), I'd suggest to show a placeholder dot only if there has been a digit typed.
